| dc.description.notes | Summary<br/ >What we know<br/ >* Family violence needs to be understood within broader contexts as both a cause and effect of social disadvantage and intergenerational trauma, poor parenting, and substance misuse. It remains a critical social policy issue, placing a huge burden on communities, especially women and children.<br/ >* In common with other colonised people, the negative legacies of past government policies and historical events in Australia persist in the form of intergenerational effects on parenting, relationships, and substance use. Contemporary efforts addressing these consequences are likely to help prevent family violence.<br/ >* Levels of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander family violence are likely to be under-reported, due to the complexity of different forms of primary health response, significant under-reporting to police by victims, and irregular collection of perpetrators' cultural backgrounds in data sets.<br/ >* The Australian Burden of Disease Study found that intimate partner violence contributed 1.6% to the total burden of disease for Indigenous Australians. This was 5 times the disease burden rate for non-Indigenous Australians.<br/ >* National survey data shows that nearly one-quarter of the Indigenous population aged over 15 reported they were a victim of threatened or actual violence of any type in the previous year. Indigenous Australians are also more likely to be re-admitted to hospital as a result of interpersonal violence than other Australians.<br/ >* In 2014–15 the age-adjusted hospitalisation rate for non-fatal assaults from family violence for Indigenous women was 32 times the rate for non-Indigenous women.<br/ >* Overall assault rates vary by geographic area and were highest in Remote and Very remote areas and lowest in Major cities.<br/ >* Although relevant national policies and plans are in place, the scale and scope of this issue suggests the availability and range of programs need to be expanded, especially in Remote areas.<br/ >Creative commons<br/ >Open access | en |
